Ha ha, I have been approached a few times by ladies and in the conversation, they have mentioned they have been watching my fast fingers and had a few thoughts.......
Now me being a good boy, never used this to my advantage   ahem, cough
Just wondering, anyone else had similar experience?
Or any other success due to technique, on the bass

I shot my wife a quick 'Can I keep her?' Look; she gave me a very clear 'YOU are funny'

That's why I've always liked the bass players, and yes, we do have fast fingers, and i do use mine to my advantage. TMI?
